Legends of Tomorrow 1.05

Fail-Safe

- Didn't quite live up to what I hoped for
- One of the Russians merged with Dr. Stein, but (a) it was temporary and very short-lived, and (b) it was Vostok rather than Arkadin (like in the comic books)
- basically a prison break themed episode; the previous episode ended with Stein, Palmer, Rory all prisoners; so this one was all about breaking them out of Russian prison
- not as many good fight scenes; the best was probably the one where White Canary took on several Russian mobsters
- Vandal Savage was back and got "killed" again by Rip
- I do like how the idea is that they need need to change things for the better but they often seem to be about to make them worse
- the next episode, Star City 2046, looks like it may be kind of Green Arrow Beyond with Ollie Queen playing the part of the aged, forced into retirement, former superhero who is mentoring his successor
